After over fifty years, Arina stands on the doorstep of her childhood home in Krakow. This trip, one organized by her granddaughter Adeline, has forced her to revisit memories that her late son never knew. She thought it a shame that she never had the chance to tell her son about some of the darker details of her life.

In 1942, Arina was able to escape her death with the help of another prisoner of trauma, someone she has befriended upon her arrival at the camp. With neither of them knowing where their living family is,  a hopelessly optimistic young girl wants nothing but to find comfort in a normal life with him. For the next fifty years, Arina learns to find love and how to deal with heartbreak. But inevitably, she will have to face the truth of her past. Nothing is more painful than the secret she blocked out for so long.

Max is a Nazi soldier with a secret; he is half Jewish. His mother and sisters were raped and killed in the camps. His neighbor's father a high ranking Nazi. He knows of Max's circumstances and forces him to disguise himself for his protection. When his worst nightmare of being stationed at one of the camps come true, he vows to do everything in his power help the prisoner's cause.

It's 1940, and the beautiful world thirteen year old Alina Fischer has grown up in is changing. It's hard to believe anything could change in the sleepy village of Felsental, outside of Cologne, Germany. But the world is changing, and with many strange occurrences, like the herds of people walking down the street with suitcases wearing yellow stars on their coats. Or the word "conscription", and all the terror it brings, and the extreme, sometimes desperate, loyalty to this one man, this Hitler fellow she's heard of. But Alina is just a child, or so her brother Otto says, she doesn't understand such things. She doesn't understand the red flags with the black symbols, why certain children can no longer be her classmates, why the world is being stripped of its beauty. Alina shouldn't understand, but she does. But the gift of understanding, once so valued, can be the line between life and death.
